The event was held at the Dorchester hotel, London. We brought together leading minds in the FinTech startup space and investors for discussions around the future of FinTech and changes in the traditional banking world.

“Trust, reputation, management, expertise is what enables growth within FinTech. Whilst adding computing power/storage constantly in response to the varying user demand levels is also very important. Successful FinTech companies are the ones refining how people are organising themselves around financial products. None rely on out of the box tech, instead they let their clients dictate which apps and services they use.”
